    Episode 106 - Iron Maiden & Faith No More: Surviving and Thriving with New Vocalists

    We’ve toyed with an idea for a while that seemed just crazy enough to work: "What similarities are there between Iron Maiden switching vocalists from Paul Di’anno to Bruce Dickinson, and Faith No More moving from Chuck Mosley to Mike Patton?" Despite the unusual premise, we found more parallels than expected. In this piece, we compare and contrast both bands before and after their respective lineup changes. We discuss the catalysts for these transitions, the resulting impact on the music, and how a band can survive such a potentially catastrophic shake-up. We also explore the merits of singers who may not be technically proficient, like Chuck Mosley, and how vocal character can often make all the difference. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

    Episode 105 - [Rewind] with Nick Wusz from August 13th, 2019

    We fired up Mike Browning’s time machine to go back to the pre-pandemic era and visit this old episode with our now co-host Nick Wusz in celebration of his birthday today!  Happy Birthday Nick Wusz! Come marvel at our old format and witness Nick as a guest, not as a host, as we delve into music, life, the universe and everything else. -------------------- Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠IHM Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, listen to our playlist on Spotify, and visit us online: ⁠⁠⁠⁠I Hate Music Linktree⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email and listener suggestions to: ⁠⁠⁠⁠hate.pod.music@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ #ihatemusicpodcast #comedy #comedynight #amateurcomedy #bestof2025 - Part of the Distorted Paths Podcast Network - -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

    Episode 104 - Unplanned Breaks, Comedy Night, and The Best of 2025!

    I dare you to take this down, Spotify!  I dare you!  Yes, we played two songs on this episode in fair use, and I dare you to take it down!  You can’t stop us!  Regardless, we here at IHM suffered an unplanned break from recording, but now we are back and ready for 2026!  We have lots of changes and ideas for this coming year so hang on - a new and improved IHM is coming soon! In this very special episode we discuss and play some excerpts from the now legendary Amateur Comedy Night at Azoth in December that we hosted.  We also share our favorites from 2025 and even play a couple of songs to see if Spotify is going to take us down again. @comedy @comedynight @bestof2025    -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

    Episode 103 - Invasive Plants, Touring, and Passion Killers with Sarah Woods

    You’ve seen her behind the mixing board working with bands such as Front Line Assembly, Corrosion of Conformity, Blood Incantation, and Agalloch.  She’s toured with Alice Cooper and Judas Priest.  She consistently makes your concert experiences sound better and you should thank her for it.  She gives the craft the respect it deserves, and furthers the craft itself with her care, precision, and attitude.  You should thank her for that too.  Sarah Woods is a world class audio engineer who has been making waves in the audio world lately.  From killing it at FOH in small venues, to large arenas and huge festivals, to small mixing desks in the forest, Sarah has skills rarely seen, an unbelievable ear, and a passion for the craft that makes her stand out from the apathetic over-worked cliche’ soundperson.   Sarah has a fascinating story.  Starting as a music-lover and musician herself, to finding her feet as an audio engineer working for places like ESPN, and now touring the world with her favorite bands, Sarah seems to have it all.  We discuss the joys and hardships of living off of music, the pleasures of touring, and what it’s like to live your dream.  Join us.   @sarahwoodsaudio @judaspriest @cocband @robhalford @agalloch   -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

    Episode 102 [Updated] - Soundtracks, Extreme Metal Literature, and the Mystery of Episode 101

    *UPDATE* It happened again!  Spotify, our podcast host, removed this episode from streaming services throughout the world.  You can still find the original episode with all music intact on YouTube, but we’ve had to remove all music from this episode to keep it on streaming.  We are currently looking for a new podcast host to alleviate this issue. —------------------------------------------------- We don’t know exactly what happened with Episode 101, but we share what we do know, explain the situation, theorize on why it happened, and cross our fingers it doesn’t happen again with this episode.  We also dive into some listener emails, answer the latest 666 Degrees of Separation, as well as discuss our favorite movie soundtracks and extreme metal literature. Pro Tools rears its ugly head and crashes Nick’s system a couple times during this one, but we offset that bad news with listening to some killer tunes including a couple bands from Romania that we had never heard of before.  In the absence of Marc Maron’s WTF, what the heck else are you going to listen to? @ihatemusicpodcast @fetud @bjork @robhalford   -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

    Episode 101 [Updated] - Live Podcasts, Autechre in Darkness, Marc Maron, and Castle Metal?

    *UPDATE* The original version of this episode was removed from all streaming services worldwide due to “recent changes with the music rightsholder.”  This was the case with all three songs we played on this episode.  This has never once happened to us before.  Our only recourse was to remove the songs and re-publish.  If you want to hear this episode with the songs, please visit us on YouTube where you can find it there.   -------------------------- In this very special episode of I Hate Music, we field a litany of listener emails and end up discussing various topics such as Autechre’s current tour, the My Favorite Murder podcast, the importance of Marc Maron, and explore the question on everyone’s mind - does Castle Metal even exist? Ghosts came up again and killed Nick’s mic about 20 minutes in, but don’t worry, we fixed it, we got this. @ihatemusicpodcast @autechre @myfavoritemurder @marcmaron @castlemetal   -------------------- Hosts:  Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.
